  <default_description>Kelly Harland's stories explore her son's life to the age of 14, and the new and unexpected universe she and her husband - both professional musicians - must learn to navigate with him. &lt;br&gt;Will's fears, anxieties and obsessions can dominate daily life, making a trip to the grocery store seem like a walk across a minefield. But amidst these unpredictable &quot;flip-outs&quot; and &quot;freak-outs,&quot; there are moments of wonder. When Will finally learns the give and take of conversation or dreams about his future, it rekindles his mother's belief that anything is possible.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[The book is a series of randomized essays taken from the life of the Harland's and their son who has autism.<br/><br/>It is useless for a newly diagnosed parent because it gives no help on where to go and where to get services. It doesn't give any suggestions to make your child verbal. As she says...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65634821">more...</a>]]></body>
